Agile Bullshit cards

If you’ve heard things like:

• "That won’t work here, we’re different."
• "We don’t need to talk to customers to know what they want."

…you know how frustrating it can be when Agile principles are misunderstood or misapplied. 

That’s what inspired Koen Vastmans, Michele d'Urzo, and Noel Warnell to create the Agile Bullshit card deck. This deck brings common Agile misunderstandings to the surface, allowing teams to laugh at them and open the door for meaningful discussions.

What's in the deck?

• 56 Bridge-Sized Cards: Each card features a bold, confronting statement paired with a thought-provoking image.
• Conversation Starters: The statements are designed to challenge assumptions and provoke discussions, asking questions like:
  • Why is this statement considered "bullshit"?
  • Where does this mindset come from?
  • How can we approach things differently?

Why use Agile Bullshit cards?

This deck is a light-hearted yet effective way to address common Agile misconceptions, foster open conversations, and create opportunities for learning and growth within your team. Perfect for retrospectives, workshops, or just breaking the ice, it helps teams tackle Agile pitfalls with a mix of humour and honesty.
